Unfortunately I do not know about female authors of chess programs and the best
that I know is about a case when the man was responsible for the search and the
woman for the evaluation so the woman was the woman was only part of the team.

I do not know about a program that was developed only by women.

I think that it is not the dirst version that he made but the first version that
he made public.

I read that he started to work on it in 1998.

No doubt that he is a good programmer but I think that it is better if people
use the level of the program and not the level of the first program to make that
estimate(otherwise people will not release their program before it can beat
Ruffian in order to impress other by their talent).
